You can make carbon neutral jet fuel, you make natural gas in a bioreactor and turn it into synthetic kerosene or you use algae to make it directly. Given the realities of air travel that's a lot more likely to be the path forward than efans, though those are being explored as well (though to be competitive they'd need a leap in battery tech that would already make the entire ground transportation sector move to batteries)
If these factors were thrown in the mix, that raw percentage would go way up. I remember reading a statistic a little while back that showed that every net job gain since (I think) 2005 has been due to "gig economy" types of arrangements like Uber driver, etc. That's great for Uber and Taskrabbit and the like, but lousy for someone who needs stable full time work to support a family.
Not even close to reality, the government rates line up pretty well with what ADP reports and since ADP is not going to be aware of gig economy jobs (you don't pay a subcontractor through ADP) the growth numbers have to be primarily coming from traditional employers.
As far as full versus part time, the numbers show we crossed over back in Q1 2015.
I wonder why they made the series data through age 54 instead of 62 to line up with SS eligibility, that seems a more common sense approach IMHO as the number of people retired at 54 is vanishingly small.
Perhaps jobless claims went down because people have been unemployed for longer than the unemployment benefit duration. The labor participation rate was also up in Q1 so overall that is most certainly not the case.
The labor participation rate actually increased in Q1 which combined with the flat/slightly falling unemployment rate means we're well above the hiring rate needed to absorb new entrants. We've still got a ways to go (we're at 63%, a number first hit in 1978), but we're not that far off the 65.8% bottom from the last recession.
This is true. Also WHY is the ipad following NTP if the slew rate is greater than 500ppm? The NTP RFC's clearly states that this is the maximum you should adjust the clock via the protocol(s).
LOL, I need an SD slot since I carry my music and podcast collection with me rather than pay my cellular provider $$$ every month to access my own music and other information, if you could get a 128GB phone without spending an extra $200 I wouldn't need an SD slot, but in reality I consider it a required feature. As far as battery replacement, I needed to replace the battery in my 18 month old Note 4, wouldn't hold more than about 6 hours of charge and got quite warm during any activity that drew more power than web browsing indoors, $40 later for two batteries and a charger and I don't need to replace my $800 handheld computer (the same as replacing the RTC battery in desktop computers, some cheap, crappy systems had the battery welded/glued in place so once it died your computer was ewaste instead of spending a few dollars on a new battery).
Let's try $40 for 50 Mbit, and you're getting warmer! My cable company offers 30/5 for $25/month, much more reasonable IMHO (which is why I'm not doing 60/5 for $40/month).
I'm about to cord cut and my cable company offers 30/5 for $25/month with a 1 year commitment, I'd consider that a significant upgrade over 3/? for $20/month (they do offer 8/1 for $15/month if you want to go really cheap and don't need to stream HD video)
In the real world a one atom thick layer graphene layer is going to be destroyed incredibly quickly by UV, water, random pollutants in the atmosphere, etc. This seems to be another case of scientists going "I can do this in the lab" and engineers just shaking their heads.
Reminds me of an ancient rumor for disconnecting modems by sending modem escape sequence in ICMP ping request and waiting for your victim to disconnect themselves by echoing it back.
Uh, that wouldn't work, the PPP interface and the COM\TTY interface are completely separate entities.
You think it's going to be tough to block 192.168.100.1/32 on any reasonable firewall setup?!? You must have zero clue how security works. On my Netgear I could block it in block sites, block services (by blocking access to 80 and 443 on that IP), or by doing a blackhole route for the IP.
He's spent more on maintenance for his 4runner that I spent for purchase + maintenance of my current vehicle, hardly seems like a smart move to me. In fact I just checked Fulio and my cost per mile excluding purchase but including insurance, gas, and maintenance has been $.17 over the last 30 months. If I get only 90,000 miles out of my car the full cost per mile will be ~$.26 which is about 50% below his figures. It's not like I'm giving up reliability either, my car has probably spent less time in the shop than his has if he's spent that much on maintenance.
No, the average AGE of car on the road today in the US is 11.5 years, the average age at destruction is 18 years which means the vast majority will make 15+ years.
And replacement motors, batteries, coolant pumps, radiators, wheel bearing, suspension, differential, battery control electronics, charging electronics, HVAC system, seat heaters, dash computer, dash display. Yup, there's nothing that will ever need maintenance in a Tesla...
Holy hell, how are you spending so much on maintenance? I buy used cars with ~65k miles on them (best tradeoff between depreciation and reliability IME) and run then to 150-200k and they only cost me a few thousand dollars in maintenance, the second time a car costs me over $500 I seriously consider if it's time to scrap it and get a 'new' one.
Yeah, the 500k number is what they hope the plant can produce when fully equipped and running 3 shifts a day. The most NUMMI managed at the plant was a bit over 400k a year so I'd call that number optimistic for a company that's never done over 20k a month. Still if they can get to 350-400k units a year that's pretty significant.
Who is going to offer a Model 3 competitor at a "steep discount"? The closest competitor that's been launched is the Bolt, and for $2,500 more you get a smaller, less well appointed car with significantly worse styling. There's literally nobody with the technology or the battery production capacity to make a better, cheaper vehicle in the class. The only risk to the Model 3 being anything but class leading is if the timeline slips by several years and they can't ramp up production at the gigafactory enough to meet their pricing plans.
Having just started working for one of the biggest law firms in the world I have to say that they're not all cheap, we spend about the same per employee as my previous employer (~$14,000/year) which is average for all mid to large sized companies from the industry numbers I've seen.
The Novell lawsuit was dismissed as it was complete crap. As far as free suites from MS you might be remembering Works, a stripped down productivity suite that could open some MS Office document formats, that was as cheap as $2 to OEM's and so was often included in the purchase price.
It's coming in the windows 10 anniversary update, they've added a Linux personality subsystem that will run unmodified Linux binaries on the Windows kernel through a mapping layer kind of like WINE. There announced it at BUILD last week and had someone from Ubuntu on stage at their freaking developer conference, how different from the Halloween letters MS can you get?
Yup, wire transfer fraud is scarily effective and lucrative. A local company lost $14.8M, they were able to recover all but ~$4.8M of it but only by hours and that's still a LOT of money to get from a few hours research and a few emails.
Is that a nasty display with horrible color accuracy like the Atrix 4G or a nice quality panel similar to the one used in the Galaxy S5? Because I'd rather have LCD than a bad AMOLED.
This doesn't seem all that out there given the advances in lexical analysis and natural language processing. Heck, Grammatik was better at constructing an English sentence in 1992 than most middle school students (and even many high school students).

Yes, and if you run an intelligent ad blocker you can just block the element with the message =)
